most endangered buildings

If you’ve driven down Bay Street in downtown Jacksonville recently, chances are you’ve seen bulldozers removing the remains of the old City Hall Annex.

It, and the old courthouse, are being removed at a cost of $8 million.

But what city planners like Ennis Davis see is an assault on midcentury architecture that’s bad for a vibrant downtown.

More than 20 buildings are featured on the Jacksonville Historical Society’s 2017 list of most endangered buildings.

The buildings on the list are subject to demolition if renovations are not made in the near future.  Wayne Wood of the historical society said the time frame for demolition varies with each building.
